This page is the filing cabinet — my resume, professional certifications, and technical reference materials, all in one place and free to download. For stories, teaching presentations, and personal writing, visit the Writing page.
Over the years, I’ve accumulated a fair number of documents — professional credentials, teaching materials, technical writing, and a few things that don’t fit neatly into any category but that I wanted to share anyway. This page is where all of them live. Everything here is free to download. If something is useful to you, I’m glad. If something makes you smile, even better.

Microsoft Office Specialist Master — Office 2010
As of January 2013, I am certified as a Microsoft Office Specialist Master for the Microsoft Office 2010 suite. This means I can offer assistance on a wide variety of issues working with Microsoft Office 2010 apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access (whew!).
And FWIW, I’ve been using Office 2016 and Office 365 much longer than I ever did 2010 — what’s changed across the versions is way less than what’s exactly the same, so…I’m more able to help now than I was then.
Verify my certification independently: Visit the Microsoft Certification Transcript page and enter the following:
Transcript ID: 1032841
Access Code: 92318745
(You’ll need to copy and paste these into the form — Microsoft doesn’t allow them to be auto-filled by a hyperlink. More’s the nuisance.)
Technical Reference Materials
Excel Formulas — A Short Monograph
A monograph about using formulas in Microsoft Excel. I started writing this in 2014 and it is still very much a work in progress. (Please also note that as of 2023, November, the same is still true. …Sigh.)
- Excel Formulas (PDF, ~1.3 MB)
Word’s Formatting Hierarchy — A Diagram
A one-page diagram illustrating how formatting information is structured inside a Microsoft Word document. If you’ve ever wondered why your Word document looks fine in one paragraph and completely wrong in the next, this is the picture that explains why.
